BEAUTY TIPS FROM ASIA: RICE WATER

Asian women are known for their delicate beauty and smooth skin. They use rice water as a remedy for beautiful skin and hair. It is an excellent skin toner and hair wash. Rice contains many vitamins and minerals. It is a rich source for revitalizing skin’s natural glow that's why it is used in many expensive skin care products, which claim to make the skin crystal clear.

 
Rice water is the nutrient-rich water that comes from soaking or washing uncooked rice. It tightens the skin and cleanses it without harsh chemicals. Washing face in rice water can give a fairer and more translucent skin and eventually skin become lighter within a month. Also rice contains a high concentration of para aminobenzoic acid. It is a very good sunscreen. It also contains two other sun protecting agents – ferulic acid (strong antioxidant) and allantoin (promotes the skin's repair).

THE PLACE UNDER THE SUN

Everyone is in love with summer. It is the sunniest season in the year. Despite on plenty positive moments which sunshine gives us it is necessary to remember how dangerous sun can be to our skin.

The sunlight consists of invisible ultraviolet (UV) rays. When these rays reach the skin, they cause tanning and burning. Sunlight contains three types of ultraviolet rays: UVA, UVB, and UVC. The most agressive to skin are UVA rays.
 
 
These rays cause skin aging and wrinkling and contribute to skin cancer, such as melanoma. Because UVA rays pass effortlessly through the ozone layer (the protective layer of atmosphere, or shield, surrounding the earth), they make up the majority of our sun exposure.
 
Thats why it is so important to know how protect yourself from the sun skin damage.
 
Choose the right sunscreen. Sunscreens come in lotions, gels, creams, ointments, and sprays. Use a sunscreen that:
 
      o Has a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 or higher (Its necessary to use a higher SPF when you are near water, at higher elevations or in tropical climates).
 
     o Says "broad -spectrum" that protects the skin from ultraviolet A and B (UVA and UVB) rays.
 
   o Lip balm or cream that has SPF of 15 or higher will protect lips from getting sunburned or developing cold sores. 
 
Protect the skin from sun damage with antioxidants. Even the best sunscreens don't block all of the sun's rays. Antioxidants such as vitamin C and grapeseed extract are important in protecting the skin from the sun's rays that do reach it. Use a vitamin C serum or an antioxidant skin cream underneath the sunscreen. 
 
Nourish the skin from the inside. Eating lots of vegetables and low glycemic index fruits high in antioxidants is a great way of nourishing the skin from the inside. Its very important to drink a lot of pure water dayly (especially in summer).
 
Sunburn happens. Everyine should know how to repair the damage. Gentle scrubs help remove damaged skin cells and stimulate the skin to heal itself. Keep the skin moisturized, since well-hydrated skin functions better. Apply oils or nourishing creams that target damaged skin.

THE FIGHT AGAINST ORANGES

Do not be surprised reading the name of the article. Of course oranges are extremely useful but only like a fruit not an orange peel syndrome on the skin. According the statistics 90% of all women have a cellulite so its necessary to know where is it come from and how we can deal with it.

Cellulite is a condition that affects the appearance of the skin in areas with underlying fat deposits (most noticeably on the buttocks and thighs), giving the skin a dimpled, lumpy appearance. Cellulite is also known as orange peel syndrome, cottage cheese skin, hail damage.
 
The causes of cellulite are: 
 
Hormonal factors – hormones likely play an important role in cellulite development. Estrogen, insulin, noradrenaline, thyroid hormones, and prolactin are part of the cellulite production process. 
 
Genetics – certain genes are required for cellulite development. Genes may predispose an individual to particular characteristics associated with cellulite, such as gender, race, slow metabolism, distribution of fat just underneath the skin, and circulatory insufficiency. 
 
Diet – people who eat too much fat or salt and too little fiber are likely to have greater amounts of cellulite. 
 
Lifestyle factors – cellulite may be more prevalent in smokers, those who do not exercise, and those who sit or stand in one position for long periods of time. 
 
 
There are several therapies that have been suggested to remove cellulite.
 
Therapeutic methods that are physical or mechanical include pneumatic massages, massages that stimulate lymphatic flow, heat therapy, ultrasound, radio frequency therapy, magnetic therapy, radial waves therapy. Mesotherapy is the injection of medications under the skin to dissolve the fat. 
 
Liposuction removes fat through suction. Usually it combined with a laser to treat cellulite more effectively.
 
Various creams that contain chemicals called methylxanthines such as caffeine and aminophylline have the potential to break down fat stores and make skin smoother. 
 
However, eating a healthful, balanced diet and exercising may be the best way to reduce the fat content in cells and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

IN VINO VERITAS

 

Everyone knows that one glass of dry red wine in time of dinner is very useful for our health. But do you know about how grape acts on your skin?  First who discover unique benefit of wine for skin was french couple Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas. They learned about the impact of grape seeds and created a concept named  «Vinotherapy».

In less than 10 years, vinotherapy has become a celebrated development in the spa industries of Europe, South Africa and South America. Now, wine spas are gaining momentum in the US and Canada.

Wine grapes contain natural antioxidants called polyphenols that exfoliate, detoxify, cool inflammation, and soften and repair damaged skin. Sixty percent of extractable grape polyphenols are in the grade seed. Thirty percent are in the grape skin and less than 10 percent are in the pulp. Resveratrol is a type of polyphenol found in the skin of the grape. Red and purple grapes have significantly more resveratrol than green grapes, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research. This is because red and purple grapes are fermented longer with the grape skins.

 Grape seeds have strong anti-aging properties that fight damaging compounds in the skin called free radicals. Thanks to its antioxidant and estrogenic effect is stimulated collagen synthesis. It is one more reason why grape is widely-used in anti-age cosmetics.  In red wine contains a large amount of polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins (B1, B2, C, vitamin E, which strengthens the walls of blood vessels), tannins, a small amount of iron, organic acids, and minerals. A grape seed extract contains the "hormone of youth".

Vinotherapy is an elegant procedure in many SPA salons. Cosmetologists apply wine creams on the relevant parts of client’s bodies or simply rub a clean red wine into the skin. They choose the wine depends on client’s skin type:                                                                                    

·          sweet or semisweet red wine is better for oily skin 

·         semidry or dry wine is better for dry skin because it normalizes the water balance

·      all kind of wins have excellent cleansing properties, removing toxins from the skin and relieve it from dead cells

C’mon BB light my skin!

 

 
Everyone notice that Asian women usually have a great skin.  So what’s the secret? There are a lot of explanations of such a wonderful complexion – climate, healthy food, genetics but also Asians are obsessed with BB cream.
 
What is it and where is it come from?
“BB” stands for blemish balm or beauty balm. It was discovered by German dermatologists and immediately became the hottest beauty product on Asian market. Basically its  “all under one umbrella” for your face. 
 
Lets see what is so special BB does:
1) Moisturize. 
It gives a comfortable feeling of moisture daylong. It infuses skin with beneficial ingredients and vitamins. 
 
2) Protection.
Beauty balm gives your skin UV protection (SPF from 15 to 45).
 
3) Concealer effect.
 
BB works pretty much like a foundation cream, conceals pigmentations, acne and other skins defects. The main point is that BB is absolutely invisible on the face, it doest stuck in your pores and doesn’t look like a mask. After applying on the face BB fits in your natural skin color and produces a very healthy nude look like you don’t even have any make up. 
 
In our days BB is very popular product on Europian and USA markets so there are a lot of different types and producers and its no wonder why woman get lost what brand and type is best for them. There are two main principals:
 
make sure the cream matches natural skin tone;
 
if skin is oily then its better to find BB which is free of oil and hydrates with hyaluronic acid and aloe.
 
Despite all the BB’s advantages it has its flaws. It cant completely replace using the day cream. Better solution is apply BB after moisturing cream. Also it doesnt provide proper care for mature skin because its action isnt aimed at reducing wrinkles and skin smoothing. 
 
To sum it up, Beauty Balm is an useful inventation in a beauty world, but  it doesn’t mean that it will handle with all skin issues by its own. Combine personal care system for your skin with BB and enjoy fresh and natural look, which is always in fashion.
